Xi Guxing put down the cup, walked up to the stunned Shen Gurong, picked up his collar following his previous actions, and then pretended not to move his arms in an exaggerated manner: "Tsk, it's really heavy, I can't lift it at all."

Shen Gurong: "..."

I don't know if there is a beast called "dog" in the world of cultivation. Shen Gurong secretly feels that Headmaster Xi fits this word very well.

Lou Bugui took it seriously. He quickly picked up Shen Gurong and weighed her. He opened his eyes wide and said, "I can carry her."

Shen Gurong: "..."

Mu Ban almost laughed out loud.

Shen Gurong was about to collapse: "Second Senior Sister!"

Su Xiyan couldn't stop laughing, he coughed dryly, rescued Shen Gurong from Lou Bugui, and said: "Your disciple's cultivation level is too low, and his spiritual power cannot support your transformation. Let's try other methods. "

Mu Ban lowered his head.

Shen Gurong glanced at it, stood on tiptoes and touched Mu Ban's head, and whispered: "My disciple is still young, but he is already very powerful now."

Mu Ban's fingers trembled.

I don't know if it was his misunderstanding, but his master seemed to be completely unable to withstand the child's frustration and vulnerability. As long as he showed a slightly aggrieved look, Shen Gurong seemed to be afraid that he would be hurt, and tried every means to coax him softly.

Mu Ban pursed his lips. He had experienced too much at a young age and had a very precocious mind. A few words would not hurt him easily, but the feeling of being coaxed by Shen Gurong was so good that he almost greedily wanted more.

A little more.

If only Shen Gurong's sight and tenderness could be monopolized, just to him...

Shen Gurong didn't notice the turmoil in his little disciple's heart. Seeing that Mu Ban's face looked better and that nothing happened to him, he asked Mu Ban to go back first and continued to pester Su Xiyan to think of something for him.

Su Xiyan tried several more methods in succession, tossing Shen Gurong to pieces, but still had no results.

Shen Gurong lay on the table, panting heavily, and said languidly: "Senior sister, why don't we stop here today?"

Su Xiyan had already considered poking Shen Gurong's spiritual veins with a silver needle. Hearing this, he asked doubtfully: "You don't want to change back as soon as possible?"

Shen Gurong's face turned pale when he saw the palm-long silver needle, and he said calmly: "It's better... let's forget it."

Su Xiyan said softly: "Let's try the last method."

Shen Gurong shuddered, but in order to recover his original body, he felt cruel and stretched out his little arms like lotus roots.

Then I got a solid shot.

Su Xiyan finally came to the conclusion: "Oh, it's useless."

Shen Gurong covered the bright red pinhole on his arm, held back the tears in his eyes, and almost cried.

Lou Bugui squatted beside him to bandage him, frowned, glanced at Xi Guxing hesitantly, and whispered: "Otherwise, let's go find the fifth senior brother."

Xi Guxing was drinking tea and watching the show. Hearing this, he put down his cup and refused again: "I told you, no."

Lou Bugui didn't have the confidence to speak, so he said timidly: "But now only the fifth senior brother can help him refine the Phoenix spiritual power."

Xi Guxing still said: "No."

The two began to argue again.

Su Xiyan suddenly said: "I think it's okay."

Xi Guxing stood up directly, frowned and said, "Senior sister!"

Su Xiyan pinched Shen Gurong's little fat face, smiled, and said: "Fifth Junior Brother is not such an unreasonable person, and I went to Fengyutan to check yesterday and he was already awake."

Shen Gurong was still afraid of the dragon, but apart from the two unreliable ones Xi Guxing and Lou Bugui, and with Su Xiyan in charge, he thought he might give it a try.

He tugged on the sleeve of Su Xiyan and asked: "Senior sister, do fifth senior brothers listen to you?"

Su Xiyan smiled: "He only listens to Master's words in this world."

Shen Gurong is mourning for his heir.

"But Master loves you the most." Su Xiyan enlightened him, "Master is not as good to Shiyi even as our senior brothers put together. Jiuxiao has known about it for a long time, so even if he is reluctant, he will not I will take action against you."

Shen Gurong was still a little hesitant.

Xi Guxing added to his jealousy: "Yes, I won't take action, I will just be played with as a toy."

Shen Gurong: "..."

Shen Gurong began to shake his head desperately.

Su Xiyan glanced at Xi Guxing: "Don't scare him, Jiuxiao is not that ignorant."

Xi Guxing snorted with his nose, not his nose, not his eyes.

In the end, Shen Gurong still didn't dare, and Su Xiyan didn't force him, so she took his hand and sent him back to Fanjiangju.

Wen Liubing, who had been down the mountain for two days, had been waiting at Fanjiangju for a long time. When he saw him coming back, he immediately came up to him with a solemn look on his face.

"Master."

Shen Gurong sent Su Xiyan away, turned around and said, "What did you do when you went down the mountain?"

"I've asked someone to identify the characters on the bamboo slips on the water ghost's boat a few days ago."

"Oh?" Shen Gurong walked into the room with short legs and raised his eyebrows, "What's written on it?"

Wen Liubing said seriously: "It has the name 'Yu Xinghe' on it."

Shen Gurong paused in his steps.

"In the 23rd year of Yongping, Yu Xinghe was buried in the bone mound."

Shen Gurong's pupils shrank suddenly, and he suddenly came back to his senses: "Are you sure you're right?"

Wen Liubing nodded. He never made any mistakes in major matters. He said these words and those were the words.

Shen Gurong took the bamboo slip and gently stroked the mottled handwriting with his fingertips. Finally, he stopped at the three words "Yu Xinghe" and read: "Yu Xinghe..."

Wen Liubing knelt down, held Shen Gurong's finger and gently moved it to the three characters above, and said: "Master, 'Yu Xinghe' is these three characters, the characters for demon are read in reverse order as we are. "

Shen Gurong: "..."

Shen Gurong, who had been mercilessly exposed and pretended to be sophisticated, became angry and kicked Wen Liubing away: "Go and squat down."

A piece of wood that doesn't know how to observe words and emotions.

He held up his arms, climbed up to the chair with all his strength, sat down, and stared at the bamboo slips in trance.

Because his thoughts were too confused, he tried to separate the parts he didn't understand.

First of all, what made him most suspicious was why the water ghost was guided by the demon cultivator of the Bone Tomb to travel thousands of miles away from Dongting to Liren Peak.

Next, why is this bamboo slip made from a boat pole clearly marked with what happened ten years later?

In the book, it was ten years later, in the 23rd year of Yongping, that Yu Xinghe broke into the bone mound, released the demon cultivators in the bone mound, betrayed Liren Peak and fell into the devil's path.

And the people, time, and events on this bamboo slip all match.

After Shen Gurong connected everything, he suddenly shuddered.

Does that mean that the bamboo slip is the fourth artifact that everyone in the Three Realms has been looking for?

But does this artifact exist by itself, or was it brought by Shen Gurong from outside the book? After all, this bamboo slip does not appear in the book.

The idea that Shen Gurong had always believed in before began to waver again, that is: does Huicheng exist? And does Shen Fengxue have anything to do with him?

Xi Guxing's map of Jiuzhou Kun was not fake, and the elder did not lie to him, and in that fight with the water ghost, Shen Fengxue's spirit was real.

Shen Gurong had a splitting headache, and after much thought, he couldn't find a completely reasonable explanation.

Wen Liubing was punished by his master to squat aside, but when he saw Shen Gurong's brows frowning more and more, he took the initiative to share his master's worries. He stood up: "Master, you..."

Shen Gurong was interrupted from his thoughts and glared at him: "Did I ask you to get up?"

Wen Liubing had no choice but to squat back.

Shen Gurong said: "Say."

Wen Liubing said, "You seem troubled. Is there anything you need my disciple to help you with?"

Shen Gurong was stunned, looking at this apprentice strangely who seemed to have nothing but killing in his mind, and asked: "What worries can you help me with?"

"I will kill Yu Xinghe for you." Wen Liubing said truthfully, "My disciple is very good at killing people."

Shen Gurong: "..."

Don't say such terrible things with such a serious expression!

Shen Gurong looked at Wen Liubing who had a serious face for a long time, and then said lightly: "Is there any disciple code at Liren Peak?"

Wen Liubing shook his head: "No, the only one is 'peace is the most important thing'."

Shen Gurong said: "Very good, go back and copy 'harmony is the most precious' a thousand times and hand it to me early tomorrow morning."

Wen Liubing: "..."

Shen Gurong got over the habit of punishing others to copy books, and after pondering for a long time, he started to use Wen Liu Bing's words again.

"Do you know when Master came to Liren Peak?"

Wen Liubing never questioned anything his master said, and he did not think deeply about such a strange question. He thought about it seriously and said, "About one hundred and nineteen years ago."
